acer e1-572g dividing partition question

ondaroof

hello everyone i have bought an acer e1-572g with a 750HDD.

my question is can i divide the c partition into two halves without effect on the hidden recovery partition?

or will not make me able to recover the factory defualt after?

 

thank you

Yes, that's correct, this happened to me few years back with Vista, factory recovery was stuck when I left the partitions in altered state but when switched back to the original set up( ie, as it was when I purchased the laptop) factory recovery completed without any hitch.

Yes, you can create another partition without affecting Recovery partition but when you decide to do a factory restore you need to revert back to the original state, make note of the original set up and create the partition you want.

revert back to original set, as making it one partition again?
